Mobile Conveyor System Basics

Low ground pressure on crawler tracks (15-30psi)

Automatic alignment and leveling
Highly accurate positioning through GPS control
Robust systems with high availability (typically 90+%)
Low operational cost
Improved safety
Environmental benefits
Higher the capacity the greater the operational savings
Current capacities 500-12,000 tph. Up to 800m long

Ground Bearing Pressure

- Interesting facts....

20 psi ground pressure over the whole machine.

35 psi when a tripper is directly over a given track
Can reach as low as 15 psi

Reference
D11 dozer is 19 psi
large haul truck is 70 psi.
A human wearing work
boots is 3-4 psi.

- Conclusion Mobile Conveyors

Equipment and systems are proven

Equipment designed and built to withstand rugged mining

operations

Equipment and systems perform at highest availabilities

Lowest operating cost equipment and systems

All solutions are driven by mine plans, topography and material

characteristics

As a consequence suppliers need to be systems providers rather

than product suppliers
